Abstract:
Techniques for identifying video and/or audio content are presented. An identification management component (IMC) groups users determined to be at least potentially be watching the same content based on first content fingerprints associated with respective content viewed by the users on communication devices, and a defined matching criterion. IMC facilitates identifying the content associated with the group of users based on first content fingerprints associated with the group of users and first reference content fingerprints. IMC receives a second content fingerprint associated with a communication device of a user in the group, sends the second content fingerprint to a third-party identification component for comparison with second reference content fingerprints, and receives content identification information in response. IMC identifies the content for the group of users based on the content identification information and/or the content identification made based on the first content fingerprints associated with the group.
Abstract:
A method for presenting media content of a website having a plurality of media content types on a media device includes receiving media content from a website at one or more computing devices over a network interface; categorizing media content from the web site into a plurality of media content types comprising a text type content and a non-text type content; receiving a selection of a media content type for displaying media content items of the selected media content type by the media device; retrieving, from a memory device, display parameters for a user interface for the selected media content type; reformatting the media content items of the selected media content type for display based on the retrieved display parameters for the user interface; and providing display data, to a display device associated with the media device, representing the user interface and the reformatted media content items.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method includes: detecting whether a user is watching media content; after detecting that the user is watching media, presenting on a user device a first affordance providing a first user-selectable election to receive information on entities relevant to the media content; in response to user selection of the election: sampling at the user device program information from the media content including one or more of audio signals and subtitles, and sending the program information to a server, which identifies the media content and generates one or more second user-selectable user elections for the identified media content and sends to the user device one or more second affordances providing the second user-selectable elections; displaying the second affordances on the user device; and in response to user selection of one of the second affordances, displaying on the user device information on a respective entity relevant to the media content.
